Load up on the liquids:
- Keeping hydrated at work is super important because office air-conditioning can strip the body
of moisture which puts it under unnecessary stress.
- Try leaving a litre water bottle on your desk and finishing it every day.
- Drinking tea is also the perfect way to stay hydrated and calm down.
- Just avoid too many coffees or sugary drinks � they only spike your energy so high that it comes
spectacularly crashing down
Take a time-out:
- Closing your eyes for 30 seconds and taking a few deep breaths or looking out the window will help
your eyesight and your stress levels.
- If you feel uptight jump on the spot a few times to release the tension.
Get and stay organised:
- A messy desk does not show that you're busy and productive; it just resembles your cluttered mind.
- Taking five minutes at the end of every day to clean your work space and write a to-do list for the next
day will make your morning arrival that much more pleasant..
Scatter some inspiration around:
- Having clear goals will always help you get through the tough times.
- Also nothing lifts your spirits like some positive affirmation so don't forget to reward yourself when you
do a good job and foster your own self-confidence.

Sleep anxiety off:
- Around 60 percent of people who say they're stressed also say they don't get enough sleep.
- If you're having trouble nodding off try a warm shower with some lavender body wash, followed by reading a good book.
- Try to avoid late night eating or TV as it puts your mind into overdrive.
Get active:
- Exercise is the golden rule of stress busters.
- Just 20 minutes of cardio three times a week releases tension in the body and dispels toxins.
- You can also try yoga for relaxation.
- A healthy diet which includes a breakfast packed with protein (eggs, meat, wholegrains and greens)
will get you firing on all cylinders and regular low-GI meals throughout the day will keep your energy up.
- Make sure to actually take a lunch break too and get outside for some fresh air and sunlight instead of
slumping over your desk.
Stress less summary
- The number one rule when dealing with work place stress is not to ignore it!
- Life and work is meant to be enjoyed!
